Help! How do I remove a DLL file- newdot~2.dll error at startup

[dabooj]

Hi,

I have just finished formatting and reinstalling everything on my pc. I loaded all of the windows xp updates and i installed all the dotNET (.NET) framework files. The reason for this is i am a programmer learning ASP.NET and so need this on my system. When i finished install the .NET framework, i ran the windows spyware remover. This bought up several high threat files and so i removed them. It seems that i also removed a useless .NET file, too. The problem is that at windows startup it tries to run the file that is missing and brings up an error. The error is a minor one and everything runs fine but you can imagine how irratating it is to have a missing file error after having done a full format. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the .net framework but that specific file was not installed and so the error keeps on appearing. I tried to delete all links to it in the registry but that doesn't do anything either.

The message simply states "Cannot run module 'C:\progra~1\newdot~1\newdot~2.dll' ".

Does anyone know how to get rid of this problem?
OR
Does anyone know how to remove a DLL file from the Windows stratup?

Please help me.

I don't want to re-format my pc over something as small as this. It takes forever installing everything.

Thank you,

Shuja.

How do you end up with spyware after reinstalling Windows?

HI,

in response to osprey4, i'm not sure how but as soon as i installed windows, connected to the internet and downloaded xp updates i ran a spyware program which detected several possible files. I think that some programs have built spyware or simply connecting to the internet allows the spyware to attck.

Not sure really.
